Great Video!

Great vid. Most of my pumps are solar powered as this was a major concern when I was building it.

Nice, power is often overlooked. Never thought about until there is a major storm, and power goes out. I hope that this video helps people to prepare for power outages.

Thank you for another informational and useful video. Would you be able to go into detail about how you winterize your ponds? Questioning what you do with the bottom drain- do you “plug” it?

[@jerseyshorepondscapesvideos]

Good idea, I'll try to do a video of an actual closing later in the fall. I do have a series of videos on seasonal care for the pond, one of which is about winter care. All the pipes get blown out and drained for the winter, however the 4" pipes from the bottom drains to the filters cannot be "blown out" due to the fact that there is no way to Cap the drain in the pond, and the pipes are all under the pond and below the water level. However, I do have either a ball valve or gate valve in the line just before the pipes enter into the filter tanks in the ground. These Valves are closed so that the tanks do not fill with water. The valves are in the ground about 18" to 24" deep, and I can keep them covered and "insulated". I will do a video later this fall. Thank You
